Tokyo: Magical Girl Shatters My Dream of Going Public

The roof of the car is dented.

Chika's figure had already shot out.

This time, the tentacles on her back finally reached their target, hardening at the ends and gripping the high-speed grandmother's shoulder like iron clamps!

With a pull, the downward momentum became even stronger!

The bread cart, which she kicked with all her might, suddenly sank down on the entire right side!

The shock absorbers groaned, and the rear of the car swung sideways uncontrollably!

Kurokawa jerked the steering wheel with both hands and repeatedly applied the brakes, barely managing to pull the nearly overturned car back to a stop, which came to a skewed halt at the edge of the open space.

Almost simultaneously, the battle geisha controlled by Kaoru also rushed into the battle.

Ahead, Chika had already pinned Grandma Gao to the ground.

The combat suit on his body burst forth with dazzling seven-colored light.

100% liberation rate! Combat suit at full performance!

The [Speed ​​Perception] trait she gained from the injection took effect simultaneously, granting her an additional 2 points to her mobility attribute. At this moment, her mobility value soared to an astonishing 9 points!

"Where do you think you're going!"

With a low growl, Qianxia used the momentum of her sprint to pull the thin, frail body of the high-speed grandmother frantically across the rough cement ground!

Gravel flew everywhere, and the ear-piercing friction sound continued incessantly, instantly carving out a broken trench more than ten meters long!

Caught off guard by the sudden speeding, the old woman's gray hair and kimono wore down rapidly from the friction.

But it is, after all, an E-class vengeful spirit.

Just as the dragging momentum was about to dissipate, its hunched body suddenly curled up, and its withered right leg kicked out backward at an angle that violated the joint structure!

Bang! ! !

He kicked Chika squarely in the unprotected abdomen.

"Ugh—!"

Qianxia let out a muffled groan as a sharp pain exploded within her, and she was sent flying backward uncontrollably!

But her tentacles still clung tightly to Grandma Gao!

As it flew backward, it also pulled the other person into the air and flung them both backward!

The two figures briefly entangled in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground, bouncing up again, and crashing down once more, leaving several shallow craters in the open space.

Chika twisted her waist in mid-air, her tentacles bracing against the ground, leaving a trail several meters long, before finally managing to regain her balance.

As soon as I looked up—

Pupils suddenly contracted!

Ahead, that gray-white, hunched figure had already swept close to the ground like a ghost!

So fast it leaves afterimages!

The gaunt knees rapidly magnified in my field of vision!

It hurtled straight to her face!

Oh no! There's no escaping it!

Chika only had time to cross her arms to protect her chest.

Prepare to tough it out.

However, the expected heavy blow did not come.

BOOM—!!

A dull thud exploded in front of her.

The blast of air lifted her hair.

Suddenly, the kabuki dancer dressed in a gorgeous kimono appeared, blocking her path between her and the high-speed old woman.

Its seemingly slender doll wrists were steadily blocking the high-speed old lady's knee strike, which was powerful enough to bend a steel plate!

The two were locked in a stalemate, their energies colliding to produce tiny sparks of electricity.

In the driver's seat, Xun kept his eyes tightly closed, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

She couldn't fully unleash the capabilities of her combat suit like her sister.

Even if she adjusts her breathing, the combat suit's activation rate can only reach a maximum of 53%!

However, her 97% talent for manipulating material and spirit energy, combined with the [Multi-Control] trait, is amplifying and perfectly transforming her own "performance" attributes through the puppet control plugin!

When energy was poured into the drive core of this combat doll!

Performance +4!

This extra attribute just made up for the basic power gap between her and the E-rank vengeful spirit!

"Sister," Xun's voice came through the doll's built-in speaker, "I'll help you."

After saying that, she controlled the battle geisha to launch a counterattack against Granny Gao Su. Her seemingly elegant punches were able to make the air crackle.

With her younger sister coming to her aid, Chika smiled with relief.

"Don't be careless."

Kurokawa's voice came from behind. After getting out of the car, Kurokawa immediately put on his full combat suit.

He didn't rush into the battle; he needed to guard against a possible magical girl attack.

He conveyed what he knew about Grandma Gao to the two of them.

"Remember, never turn your back to Granny Speed. If she touches your back, you will be immediately cursed with the [Weakness] curse, and once you are affected, the performance of your combat suit will plummet."

He paused, then spoke with even greater emphasis.

"And another thing! E-rank vengeful spirits have one more 'ultimate attack' than F-rank ones. I don't know exactly what its ultimate attack is, but if you let your guard down, even if you have the upper hand... you could be turned around in an instant."

Chika's eyes sharpened.

She stared at the high-speed old woman in front of her, who was once again entangled in a battle with a fighting geisha, moving so fast that only a gray-white afterimage remained, and her mind raced as she made her calculations.

"So—President," she shouted, her right hand already reaching for her waist, "I just need to be faster than her and grab her by the back, right?!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already pinched the [Patrol Acceleration Plugin] with its edge gleaming, and without even looking at it, she slammed it into the second slot on the side of the magic battery!

Click!

The sound of the two instruments meeting was crisp and clear.

Buzz—!

An even more surging flow of energy instantly coursed through his limbs!

The world seemed to have a frame removed from it in her eyes.

The previously blurry movement trajectory of the highway grandmother suddenly became much clearer!

More importantly, a strange sense of "synchronization" was established between her and her opponent.

The moment the opponent increased their speed, the energy circuits within her body responded automatically, propelling her speed to increase as well!

The stronger the opponent, the stronger they become!

"Now—!"

Chika stomped her legs hard on the ground, causing the cement to crack!

A burst of seven-colored light erupted from her body, and her figure transformed into a comet that tore through the night, plunging straight into the battle!

She no longer attempts complicated encirclements, but instead simplifies everything to the extreme!

speed!

Use speed to defeat speed!

The tentacles were no longer used for grappling, but instead transformed into four sharp whip shadows, striking, stabbing, sweeping, and entangling, specifically targeting the high-speed old woman's inevitable path and blind spots!

At the same time, she herself was like a leech, clinging tightly to the opponent's flank, each change of direction faster and each sprint closer!

The highway sparrow let out a hoarse shriek, its gray-white afterimage frantically darting back and forth across the open space, trying to shake it off.

But Chika's speed rose like the tide, always following closely behind.

Two figures moved through the rest area, leaving behind dazzling trails of seven colors and gray-white light. The sounds of collision, tearing, and sonic booms as the air was ripped apart by extreme speed resounded continuously!

Kurokawa stood beside the car, squinting as he watched this pure speed showdown.

He closed his eyes tightly as he was being fumigated, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead.

The battle geisha she controlled did not join the dazzling high-speed chase, but instead steadily guarded the perimeter, waiting at the key nodes of the net, blocking any possible escape routes for the high-speed grandmother.

High in the sky, drones hovered silently, taking in the entire battlefield.

The race for speed has reached a fever pitch.

However, the E-Class high-speed mother-in-law is, after all, an expert in the field of speed.

Even with a 100% unlock rate and the dual boosts of plugins and special traits, Chinatsu is still the challenger in a pure speed contest.

The explosive power that allows him to break through 100 kilometers per hour in an instant is always a step ahead of hers.

What's even more troublesome is that the opponent's thin body is far more flexible and agile than expected.

The four tentacles took turns striking, but it twisted and slid past them with all sorts of illogical, minute movements.

Of the full force of the attack, eight out of ten were dodged.

Of course, with the newly acquired passive skill [Speed ​​Perception], even the high-speed old woman's attacks were difficult to hit Chika.

It was more like a head-on collision at extreme speed!

However, they were unable to break through after a prolonged siege.

Chika glanced at the remaining battery level on the edge of the screen out of the corner of her eye; the number was steadily decreasing.

"A tug-of-war is very disadvantageous... We must find a way to break the deadlock."

Her gaze swept across the outer perimeter of the battle.

I immediately noticed the Battle Maiko standing still like a statue.

The puppet controlled by Xun possesses power far exceeding that of herself.

If it hits...

Perhaps one punch could send the high-speed old lady into the "containment line".

The moment the thought arose, her actions changed.

She no longer insisted on a direct assault; the tentacles' offensive suddenly subsided by three points, turning into a more guiding and driving approach.

The landing point of each impact, and the space reserved for each dodge, subtly compressed the range of High Speed ​​Granny's activities toward the location of the Battle Dancer.

Has my sister's behavior changed?

There was no verbal communication.

Inside the car, Xun, through shared vision and combat intuition, instantly caught her sister's subtle tactical adjustment.

In just a fraction of a second, she immediately understood what her sister was thinking.

Close your eyes, concentrate your mind, and focus your attention.

Within the Battle Dancer's body, the power output of the drive unit was quietly increased, and more magical energy converged on the bionic muscle fibers and mechanical joints, ready to unleash its power.

The doll's delicate "hands" tightened slightly.

Kurokawa's gaze swept across the battlefield, landing on the silent coordination between the two sisters.

He rubbed his chin.

He usually avoids having his sisters on the same team, but at this moment the two of them showed a different side.

This kind of unspoken, almost instinctive tacit understanding and absolute trust is something that many conventional teams struggle to achieve even after years of practice.

Driven by Chika, Grandma Gao is slowly falling into the "net" quietly woven by the two sisters.

It seemed to sense the subtle threat posed by the silent doll on the outside and tried to turn back and break through.

But Chika's pressure was relentless; every change of direction was anticipated, and every acceleration was simultaneously countered.

The activity space is being steadily and imperceptibly narrowed.

It only lasted half a minute.

Grandma Gao was completely cornered and trapped in the pre-set "pocket".

Its hunched body suddenly stopped, as if it had finally realized the dangerous energy concentration emanating from the puppet behind it.

His thin legs instantly gathered strength, ready to spring to the side and upward, trying to escape this unfavorable position.

It really worked!

Chika deliberately exposed the exposed area above her to Grandma Kagoshi.

She never expected that the other party would actually run away in the direction she had predicted.

"Gotcha!"

A glint flashed in Qianxia's eyes, and she quickly closed in.

The four tentacles on its back, which had been poised to strike, suddenly closed up from below like a tiger released from its cage! Then they lashed down fiercely!

Bang!

The speeding old woman's leaping momentum was abruptly stopped, and her thin body plummeted towards the ground!

It struggled frantically, but being in mid-air, no matter how fast it was, it had nowhere to grab its strength!

below.

The doll had been waiting for a long time.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, pushing the control precision and energy output to their current limits.

Beneath the bionic skin of the Battle Dancer's right arm, dark blue energy veins bulged and lit up like blood vessels, enveloping the entire arm in a tangible energy glow.

Power generation complete.

It slightly lowered its waist, pulled its right fist back, and aimed at the gray-white figure that was falling uncontrollably.

That punch was enough to severely injure someone!

Just as the fist was about to strike the high-speed old woman—

A sudden change has occurred!
